Product details
Overview
MXD1013SA015 from Maxim Integrated is a monolithic 3-channel silicon delay line IC with three independent, logic-buffered outputs each delivering a precise 15ns nominal delay (±2ns accuracy for 10–60ns range), TTL/CMOS-compatible inputs, and ability to drive up to ten 74LS loads. It operates from a +5V supply and is used in clock synchronization and digital system timing alignment where deterministic, low-jitter propagation delay is required.
For engineers reviewing the MXD1013SA015 datasheet, MXD1013SA015 pinout, MXD1013SA015 application, or MXD1013SA015 equivalent, key selection considerations include its 15ns fixed delay per channel, 8-pin SO package footprint, ±2ns delay tolerance at +25°C, leading/trailing-edge accuracy, and compatibility with legacy DS1013-based designs requiring space-constrained, low-power timing solutions.
Technical Context
The MXD1013SA015 implements three fully independent delay paths on a single die, each with matched internal propagation characteristics and buffered outputs to maintain signal integrity across load variations. Its delay is defined by monolithic silicon timing elements-not RC networks-ensuring stable, temperature- and voltage-compensated performance.
All three channels share a common VCC and GND, accept TTL/CMOS logic-level inputs, and deliver edge-aligned delayed outputs with identical tPLH and tPHL specifications. Delay variation across channels is minimized by layout symmetry and process-matched transistor design, supporting tight skew control in multi-signal timing applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Delay per channel | 15ns nominal, ±2ns tolerance (10–60ns range), measured at 1.5V crossing point on rising/falling edges |
| Supply voltage | +5.0V ±5%, enabling direct integration into standard 5V digital systems without level-shifting |
| Output drive | Capable of driving ≥10 standard 74LS loads, eliminating need for external buffer stages in moderate-fanout designs |
| Input compatibility | TTL/CMOS logic levels (VIH ≥ 2.2V, VIL ≤ 0.8V), ensuring interoperability with both legacy and modern logic families |
| Active current | 20mA typical (vs. 40mA for DS1013), reducing power supply demand and thermal load in dense PCB layouts |
| Operating temp | -40°C to +85°C, supporting industrial-grade reliability without derating in ambient-constrained environments |
Pinout & Package
MXD1013SA015 is housed in an 8-pin SO (Small Outline) package, 3.9mm × 4.9mm body, 1.27mm pitch, JEDEC MS-012 compliant. Pin 1 marked via notch or dot; pin 1 is IN1 (first input).
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | IN1 | First independent logic input; accepts TTL/CMOS signals to generate 15ns-delayed output on OUT1 |
| 2 | IN2 | Second independent logic input; generates 15ns-delayed output on OUT2 |
| 3 | IN3 | Third independent logic input; generates 15ns-delayed output on OUT3 |
| 4 | GND | Digital ground reference for all internal circuitry and I/O; must be low-impedance connection |
| 5 | OUT1 | Buffered 15ns-delayed replica of IN1; edge-aligned, logic-compatible output |
| 6 | OUT2 | Buffered 15ns-delayed replica of IN2; matched skew relative to OUT1 and OUT3 |
| 7 | OUT3 | Buffered 15ns-delayed replica of IN3; supports simultaneous triple-signal delay alignment |
| 8 | VCC | +5V power supply input; requires local 0.1µF ceramic bypass capacitor to GND for noise suppression |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar silicon delay line applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DS1013S-15 | Same 15ns delay, but higher 40mA ICC and wider ±5% tolerance (vs. MXD1013SA015's ±2ns); 14-pin DIP only | Limited to through-hole assembly; lacks SO/µMAX packaging options and modern thermal/power specs | Select DS1013S-15 only when maintaining legacy DIP footprints or sourcing discontinued inventory. |
| MXD1013SE015 | Identical 15ns delay and ±2ns tolerance, but in 16-pin narrow SO package with NC pins; same electrical specs | Requires PCB redesign due to larger 16-pin SO footprint and different pin mapping (e.g., N.C. on pins 2,4,6,9,11,13) | Choose MXD1013SE015 only if board layout accommodates 16-pin SO and requires pin spacing compatibility with other Maxim 16-pin timing devices. |
Compared with DS1013S-15 and MXD1013SE015, MXD1013SA015 delivers identical 15ns delay accuracy in the smallest 8-pin SO form factor with half the supply current-making it optimal for space- and power-sensitive digital timing upgrades.

FAQ
What is the exact delay specification for MXD1013SA015?
The MXD1013SA015 provides a nominal 15ns delay per channel, with a guaranteed tolerance of ±2ns over the 10ns–60ns range at +25°C and VCC = +5V. This applies to both tPLH (input-to-output leading edge) and tPHL (trailing edge), ensuring pulse-width preservation. Delay variation with temperature and supply is typically ±1.5ns or ±3%, whichever is greater.
Is MXD1013SA015 pin-compatible with DS1013 variants?
No-MXD1013SA015 uses an 8-pin SO package with a 3-input/3-output + VCC/GND pinout, whereas DS1013 variants use 14-pin DIP or 16-pin SO packages with different pin assignments and NC placements. However, MXD1013SA015 is a functional replacement with identical 15ns delay and improved specs, requiring PCB layout adaptation but no logic redesign.
Can MXD1013SA015 drive 74ACT or 74HC loads?
Yes-MXD1013SA015 outputs are rated to drive ≥10 standard 74LS loads (IOL = 12mA, IOH = –1mA), which exceeds the input current requirements of 74ACT (max ±24mA) and 74HC (max ±1µA). For 74ACT, verify VOH/VOL margins under worst-case loading; for 74HC, the low drive current is more than sufficient and ensures clean switching.
Does MXD1013SA015 require external decoupling?
Yes-per Maxim's application guidance, a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor must be placed between VCC (pin 8) and GND (pin 4) as close as possible to the device. This minimizes high-frequency supply noise induced by simultaneous output switching, preventing delay instability or output ringing that could degrade timing accuracy.
What is the maximum input frequency supported by MXD1013SA015?
The MXD1013SA015 has no specified maximum input frequency limit, but its timing performance is validated with input pulses having minimum width (tWI) ≥100ns and period ≥1µs. At 1MHz (1µs period), typical active current is ~10.5mA. For higher frequencies, ensure input rise/fall times ≤3ns and avoid violating pulse width or duty cycle constraints that impact delay measurement fidelity.
